The Senate failed to get a filibuster proof vote to end the war yesterday. But this is what is really astounding ....

The vote, 47-47, fell 13 votes short of the 60 needed to pass.

...

Blocking the bill were 43 Republicans, Connecticut Independent Joseph Lierbman and Democrats Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Mark Pryor of Arkansas and Christopher Dodd of Connecticut. Whereas Nelson and Pryor say they are reluctant to embrace a timetable on troop withdrawals, Dodd said he refuses to support anything short of cutting of funding for combat.

So now with a year plus of the polls showing Americans want out of Iraq, and after all has been said and done by Senators wanking about supporting/not supporting Bush, the vote is right back where we started with the same actors keeping us in Iraq.

I don't care what any Republican says, it's their war and they are supporting Bush. Period. As for those Dems, they also are the usual suspects and are why I believe Reid is being quite careful with his political calculations. There are enough weak-kneed Democrats to cause embarrassment to the Democratic party. I still think they should freeze Senate business and keep this issue front and center. But I'm willing to admit that it's a weak Senate majority against the war.

So we're right where we started from. And I think Americans are getting fed up.

I know I am .... still.

Added: Further proof? Read it an weep. The inside the beltway idiots are wrong .... again ... still.
